Ferrocene-dipeptide conjugates derived from aminoferrocene and 1-acetyl-1′-aminoferrocene: synthesis and conformational studies

In this study we present the synthesis and conformational analysis of mono- and disubstituted ferrocene bioconjugates bearing dipeptide chains (Boc-AA-AA-Fn-X, AA=Gly, l-Ala, l-Val). The conformational preferences of novel aminoferrocene derived conjugates with X=H, as well as their 1-acetyl analogues (X=COMe), were investigated by spectroscopic techniques (IR, NMR and CD) and corroborated by DFT calculations. Chirally organized structures, stabilized through intrachain hydrogen bonds, prevail in solution when X=H. The resulting 10-membered hydrogen-bond ring is destabilized by heteroannular introduction of an acetyl group when X=COMe.
